Hungamammothapalooza

could someone please translate this Tamil word?

Hungamammothapalooza = Hungama + Mammoth + Palooza –> Hungama is a Hindi party. Mammoth is their God who removes obstacles. Palooza is the kumb mela suffix for cannabis inhalers.

I do find it irritating when I’m talking to someone, say a Turkish girl, who’s all hijab-ed up and she says something to me like- yeah you know the French girl, or the German guy and that black girl. As if black people never have any other identity than their race. [This in a setting, where the only other 2 black girls were different nationalities/ very different accents etc. from me and from each other]. I would be wrong to solely identify her by her religion/head dress,since I know her name etc. but she doesn’t want to extend that person hood to a black person.

I am going to jump in and say that it is impossible to insult white people. Shallow Thinker.

You’ve expressed those deep thoughts before. You should use your own voice to do so, and not continue to refer to the black American experience esp. as regards to deference, or not, to white people. I mean you don’t really identify that deeply with African Americans do you? I understand it’s inaccurate for others to map you on to the white/black dichotomy without regard for your Desi-ness… strive for consistency. Otherwise you come of as condescending to blacks and whites.

What exactly is offensive about the term “White Boy?” The N-word is offensive because it references old stereotypes about worthlessness and a legacy of slavery and second-class citizen status.

Reference someone being White and what exactly is that referencing? To quote Louis CK again, “Aww ruined my day! Takes me back to when I could own land and people. Shucks!”

Maybe instead of trying to foster a culture where everyone so sensitive about being offensive that they have to walk on egg-shells every time they open their mouths we could foster a culture where people aren’t so sensitive that they get offended at the slightest provocation? I like freedom. I like the free exchange of ideas. I like it when people say what they mean without cloaking everything they say in euphemistic, obfuscatory bullshit. There are some lines I’ll draw just in the name of fostering civil and amicable relationships between groups. Hence, not dropping the N-word and other crap in conversation. But willingly coming up with still more obnoxious hurdles to have to work around just because some people feel left out of the “legacy of being oppressed” derby? That’s just a pointless waste of time and energy.
